Physical Therapy

Help patients get moving again.

Physical therapists (PTs) work with patients to help improve or restore mobility; they also work to prevent the loss of mobility by helping their patients to develop healthy, active, wellness-centered behaviors. PTs work in a variety of settings, including: hospitals, private practices, outpatient clinics, home health agencies, schools, sports and fitness facilities, work settings, and nursing homes.

State licensure is required in each state in which a physical therapist practices.

Program Description

Physical Therapy programs are graduate level programs, requiring a bachelor's degree in order to apply. TCC offers courses that cover the first 2 years of a typical 4-year pre-physical therapy program (college level courses) as well as courses to develop skills needed for college level courses.
